ActionSA welcomes today’s judgement handed down in the Constitutional Court, compelling Former President Jacob Zuma to testify before the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into State Capture.
ActionSA has taken the step of writing to the leaders of a several of opposition parties in our country, to initiate a multi-party engagement platform. The purpose of this engagement is to build the common ground to respond more effectively to the crisis created by government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The legal team of the former miners and families at Lily Mine have reported a major development that has moved the matter one step closer to conclusion.
ActionSA is delighted by news that the Department of Health has reached out to the South African Medical Association (SAMA), following our #HireOurMedicalHeroes campaign, and sought the lists of unemployed healthcare professionals to hire them.
Today I have written to the Speaker of Parliament to lay a formal complaint against EFF leader Julius Malema for his public encouragement of illegal immigration last week.
Today’s call to delay the 2021 local government elections until 2024 by Julius Malema and the EFF, is grossly irresponsible and hypocritical for a man who once labelled Jacob Zuma a constitutional delinquent.
The fact that Mayor Geoff Makhubo seeks to take credit for this, after he took more than a year to present something that was largely finalised…
After weeks of silence from the Gauteng Provincial Government, Premier Makhura’s address today did nothing to instil hope or confidence in the Province’s ability to handle its own 2nd wave of infections, leaving the impression that it is woefully unprepared.
ActionSA is proud to announce that the SAPS have confirmed that the criminal case (CAS:464/12/2018) that I laid against Mayor Geoff Makhubo and former Mayor Parks Tau is being investigated by its Serious Commercial Crime division.
Today, ActionSA has launched a campaign asking all unemployed doctors and nurses as well as unallocated medical interns, to come forward and identify themselves through https://hiremedicalheroes.co.za/.
Hospitals in the City of Johannesburg are either full to capacity or approaching their limits. This factor, along with the highly populated nature of Gauteng, suggests that we may face a level of infections that would far exceed any other province in the country, resulting in a healthcare crisis.
While governments around the world have been focussing their efforts on the procurement and rollout of a vaccine to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, President Ramaphosa’s government has failed South Africa by devoting its time and resources to implementing and policing lockdowns without prioritising vaccine procurement.
It is disgraceful that people who are tasked with the welfare of the most economically vulnerable among us can take leave without having ensured that contingency plans are in place so that these types of unjustifiable wrongdoings do not occur.
Tomorrow marks the last day of 2020. I look forward to 2021 in the hope that it will see us emerge from this pandemic. This will only be possible if we both play our parts. I reiterate my commitment, and that of ActionSA, to doing better. I hope for our collective good that you will do the same. If not, let the voters have the final word.
The following remarks were delivered by Herman Mashaba, President of ActionSA, at the funeral of the Late Dr. Ngoako David Thebehali.
